Adipozin contains the following patented ingredients: Chromax® Chromium Picolinate, Forslean®, Fucopure™ and Super Citrimax®.also contains proven weight loss ingredients Glucomannan, Green Tea, 20-Beta-Hydroxyecdysterone and Guarana; Study: (see ref 1) Glucomannan study: minerva med 1992 Mar;83(3):135-9 [chronic use of glucomannan in the dietary treatment of sever obesity] Vita PM, Resteli A, Caspani P, Klinger R, Centro per la Farmacoterapia dell Malattie Nutrizionzli, Universita degli Studi di Milano read Glucomannan study ; Green Tea read study; Chromax study: Clinically obese participants received either 400 mcg per day of chromium as chromium picolinate (CP) or a placebo for three months, during which time physical activity and calorie logs were maintained. The supplemented subjects lost significantly more body weight and fat mass than did the placebo group. Since this trial used a very sensitive measure of body composition via dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), in conjunction with diet and exercise monitoring, this study validates earlier findings that supplementation with CP leads to improvements in lean body mass.

T Andersen 2001 ref; The British Dietetic Association J Hum Nutr Dietet vol 14 243-250 ; 20-Beta-Hydroxyecdysterone study: "Ecdysterone has been tested for its effects on work capacity, immune function, lean body mass and fat loss, among other variables in a number of scientific studies. The vast majority of research indicates an increase in test subjects' lean mass.* Results were further improved when ecdysterone was consumed with protein. Increase Protein Synthesis and Invoke Positive Nitrogen Balance* Studies conducted in the Soviet Union in 1988 showed ecdysterone helps ""increase hepatic protein synthesis and subsequently promote positive nitrogen balance!"V. Smetanin, researcher of the Smolenk State Medical Institute in Russia speculates that ecdysterone decreases urea concentration in the body and increases hemoglobin levels by increasing a process called erythropoiesis.* Erythropoiesis is the development of mature red blood cells. This leads to a stimulation of the anabolic process in protein metabolism, which in turn leads to a positive nitrogen balance in the body.* The most often quoted ecdysterone scientific study was published in Scientific Sports Bulletin by S. Simakin in 1988. The objective of Simakin's famous study was to determine the effect of ecdysterone on muscle tissue mass and fat mass, while testing for hormonal changes in the subjects. For the study, three control factors were used: a placebo, protein, and ecdysterone with protein. The results were significantly in favor of the third factor. Of the 78 highly trained male and female athletes who consumed just protein, they showed only a slight increase in muscle mass for the 10 day period of time. Those who used a placebo lost a slight amount of lean muscle, while those who used protein plus ecdysterone showed a 6-7% increase in lean muscle tissue with nearly a 10% reduction in fat! Ecdysterone was tested in another study performed in 1986 by B.Ya Smetanin. For this research, 117 highly trained speed skaters between the ages of 18 and 28 were tested for work capacity, body weight, lung capacity and VO2 max. The results speak for themselves: all of the said parameters increased as well as an increase in the O2 pulse max and an increase in the exhalation of CO2.* Basically, they received more oxygen to their cells! This equates to decreasing recovery time, maximizing performance, permitting optimal muscle anabolism and maximum fat reduction.* It also means the athletes using ecdysterone compared to those on a placebo experienced increased stamina, endurance and energy. A study conducted using 112 athletes performed by B.G. Fadeev in Russia showed some very impressive overall results. However, by this time, the results should come as no surprise. 89% of those who supplemented with ecdysterone versus a placebo reported less fatigue, greater performance, more motivation, greater speed, and improved strength no adverse side effects were reported.
